Awards Given on a Rolling Basis - Apply Today!
The Grant Development Award provides funding for a junior CCMBM member to host a meeting (e.g., lunch or dinner) with 2-3 UCSF faculty members who are outside of the trainee’s current lab to:
1) brainstorm/solicit informal feedback on a study idea or research direction
2) learn about the latest methods and techniques used in related fields
3) identify potential collaborators
4) promote inter-disciplinary MSK research
5) expand the trainee’s professional network
